 "The lens fits perfectly with my SONY H5 with an adapter and produces beautiful, extra-wide angle photos." 2009-10-01
By S. Yu (Jersey City, NJ)
I intened to only give it 4-star since with the size of the lens, flash will shot a significant shadow on almost half the size of the photo. Yet, it's the design issue on H5, not the lens. Overall, under sufficient lighting condition, the images look great. Very good quality from Made-in-Japan SONY lines.

The lens is great. You have to be aware that when using the flash you will get a shadow. I was aware of this and have a slave flash that gets rid of the shadow.

 "Great addition to Sony DSC-H3" 2009-08-01
By Y. Au
I got this wide angle conversion lens last month to be put on my Sony DSC-H3. The effect is tremendous! I can now easily capture a wide frame of picture that goes much beyond what H3 had to offer (even though H3 is already pretty good without any additional lenses). With this lens it will never be a problem for me to take group pictures in a small room. I love this lens and bring it to wherever I go.

 "Warning!" 2009-07-23
By Warren L. McFerran (Orlando, FL)
I have a Sony CyberShot DSC-H1 that came with an adapter tube (56mm to 52mm). I thought it would be great to extend the power of the 12X lens by buying this 0.7X wide angle converter and a 1.7X tele converter lenses, also made by Sony. Both converter lenses stated that they had 58mm threads to mount to the camera, so I bought a 52mm to 58mm adapter ring, thinking that one adapter ring would work with both of them. Well, the 1.7X tele converter mounted on the adapter ring just fine. But this 0.7X wide angle converter would not! The problem is that the threads for mounting this lens are recessed about a quarter of an inch. That means I will need, not an adapter ring, but an adapter TUBE just to mount this lens! Thus far, I have taken some great pictures with the 1.7X tele converter lens. But I cannot even mount this 0.7X wide angle converter on my camera! And I have no idea where I can find an adapter TUBE for 52mm (camera) to 58mm (lens) adaption. It's probably a great lens. Too bad I can't use it!

This was the biggest farce I have purchased from a Sony product. The lens is so big it makes handeling the camera horrible and the width of the viewed image is not that much better than the original lens. Big mistake.

 "Love the lens" 2009-08-28
By Kathleen
Purchased after reading the other reviews. Some of the reviews were not so positive, but I think the camera works to good, the subject has to be in perfect focus, i get a lot of blurry pictures if im not right on.



Have not used manual focus or changed to many settings. Some of my close ups come out a little dark also.



I had good shots before the tele lens, now im getting even better ones.

 "Also works (with care) on a DSLR!!" 2009-08-05
By Oly Guy (Chattanooga, TN, USA)
I initially bought this little gem a few months ago for a Canon S5IS. It worked well - sharp, clear results at the S5's higher focal lengths with an increase in maximum optical zoom from the built-in 12X to around 20X, without seeming to slow its speed. At the camera's lower focal lengths, below 7X or so, there's a tunneling effect in which the sides of the Sony's tube are visible. But I expected that, and it's hardly a negative. I bought this to increase maximum zoom, not to use at lower focal lengths. Very satisfied!



DSLR Application: I also use an Olympus DSLR with one of its lenses being a 40-150mm kit zoom threaded for 58mm front filters. Hmmmm, I thought, perhaps the Sony VLC-DH1758 might work here as well. Mounting was easy and felt relatively stable. Photo use was outstanding! No tunneling anywhere, sharp clear results with minimal CA, and a nice focal length increase. Auto-focus and metering worked seamlessly in every mode I tried. Since Olympus builds image stabilization into the camera body (not the lens), camera shake wasn't a problem. Finally, though it's not really logical, the speed of the lens actually seemed faster with the converter mounted than without it.



A Few Negatives: 1 -- At full extension, the combination reaches out about 8 inches from the Olympus body and needs a hand under the middle to support it. 2 -- It takes some time to hook everything together. 3 -- It's probably not good to wag it around fast to capture a hunting falcon -- something expensive could break. 4 -- There's no pro or con guidance - I've not seen this potential DSLR application mentioned anywhere.



Bottom Line: For occasional use where higher optical zoom is desired, and fast camera movement isn't needed, I think this could be a nice added application for the Sony tele-conversion lens. It's far from perfect, but especially for folks with a DSLR lens that accepts 58mm filters, it sure beats spending many hundreds of dollars for a new lens with equivalent zoom range if you just need it occasionally. However, if you're a dedicated birder, need OEM ruggedness, or don't want to deal with the risk of something breaking, ignore this suggestion entirely!

 "sony vcl-dh1758 tcon onFujifilm s100fs" 2009-02-10
By Cheryl A. Kaskey
I recently bought this lens for a fuji s100fs camera. It works pretty well on this camera. I had to use a 67-58 step-down adaptor ring for it to adapt on the camera and due to vignetting at the wide angle it is not too useful until I zoom to about 200mm. But from 200-400 it is nice and clear. I have already gotten some real good moon shots with this combination and am looking forward to using it for pictures of birds. It is light enough to not be too heavy on my camera when fully zoomed. It is not advertised for this camera much but it works really well. I think Sony is putting some good glass in these tcons for the money.Fujifilm Finepix S100fs 11.1MP Digital Camera with 14.3x Wide Angle Dual Image Stabilized Optical Zoom

 "Nice lens at a nice price" 2009-02-09
By Mountain Man (California)
I purchased this lens to use on a Canon S5IS. It works very well and I am quite happy with it. I've not noticed any softening or degradation of the images. I highly recommend this lens for use with Canon S series cameras.
